process is used.
TCPIP_RESOLVER_NAME
Specifies the OSS pathname to be used instead of /etc/resolv.conf to identify the
dynamic name server to be used when resolving Internet addresses. Equivalent
to the Guardian environment DEFINE =TCPIPˆRESOLVERˆNAME.
TCPIP_RESOLVER_ORDER
Controls the search order for TCP/IPv6 when OSS socket calls require access to
addresses for a given host. The /etc/ipnodes and /etc/hosts files are searched as
follows by default:
• If neither file exists, the domain name server (DNS) is checked for the
host information.
• For an IPv4 host address, /etc/ipnodes is checked; if the host is not
found, /etc/hosts is checked.
• For an IPv6 address, only /etc/ipnodes is checked.
For an IPv4 address, if /etc/hosts does not exist, the DNS is checked last.
When /etc/hosts exists, the values declared for the
TCPIP_RESOLVER_ORDER environment variable can be used to control the
search as follows:
DNSONLY Only the DNS is checked.
HOSTFILEONLY
Only /etc/hosts is checked.
DNS-HOSTFILE
The DNS is checked first; if the host is not found, /etc/hosts is
checked.
HOSTFILE-DNS
/etc/hosts is checked first; if the host is not found, the DNS is
checked.
TERM Specifies the type of terminal for which output must be prepared. This informa-
tion is used by commands, such as vi or more, that can exploit special terminal
capabilities. (See the termcap(4) reference page for a list of terminal types.)
TERMCAP Specifies a string describing the terminal in the TERM environment variable or,
if it begins with a / (slash), the name of the termcap file. (See TERMPATH.)
This string applies only to programs using a termcap file (only for compatibil-
ity).
TERMINFO Points to the directory containing terminfo database files. The tic command
uses the value of this variable.
TERMPATH Specifies a sequence of pathnames of termcap files, separated by colons or
spaces, which are searched for terminal descriptions in the order listed. The
default is:
$HOME/.termcap:/usr/share/lib/termcap
TERMPATH is ignored if TERMCAP contains a full pathname. This string
applies only to programs using the termcap file (only for compatibility).
